How to catch largemouth bass in Florida
Techniques
FWC: plastic worms worked slowly through cover, spinnerbaits in spring & topwater early/late.
Preferred bait
Golden shiner (live) & fished under a float or free-lined.
Preferred lures
Plastic worms (texas/carolina-rigged), spinnerbaits, crankbaits, topwater plugs & jerk worms.
Time of day
Topwater lures are most successful during early morning or late afternoon (FWC black bass fishing).
Tide effect
Tidal rivers (e.g. St. Johns): falling on deep bar drops; flooding on bar highs
